Abstract :
The use of a zero current switched-quasi resonant (ZCSQR) SEPIC (single ended primary inductance converter) with half-wave switch working as a power factor preregulator (PFP) is studied in this paper. The analysis carried out demonstrates that this converter shows excellent characteristics to obtain a high power factor without using any input current feedback loop and also that it allows high switching frequency to operate because it integrates transformer and rectifier diode parasitics into the power topology
